Demand for exotic pets fuels illegal poaching for the global wildlife trade. Wild animals are suffering and it needs to stop. Sign this petition urging @TurkishAirlines to do more to stop illegal smuggling on its planes: ow.ly/UgSL30nr0eU#NotPets

Fiercely protective parents, wild otters are shot, electrocuted, or their nests are smoked out, so poachers can take their cubs for pets or to live in cafes. 💔😣

Trading exotic animals for their skins or as pets may be legal, but it doesn’t make it right. These are wild animals – not factory-produced goods. @NatGeo has covered our latest report: ow.ly/1Se350wBUHA#NotPets

Aside from it being morally wrong to steal #ballpythons from the wild and sell them into the exotic pet, meat, and medicine trades, snakes also serve a useful function in ecosystems--protecting crops and controlling other animal populations #NotPetssouthafricatoday.net/environment/pr…

The dark side of the exotic pet trade. We need to work together to keep wild animals safe in the wild, where they belong. Up your game @TurkishAirlines, stop enabling this illegal business. More info & petition here: bit.ly/2RLeveR#NotPets

Our research has found that 43% of exotic pet owners buy their animal on impulse. Almost half the owners don’t conduct any research at all, or spend less than a few hours researching which exotic pet to buy or how to care for them. #NotPetspic.twitter.com/8fSoIukvHy
